DISCLAIMER: I own nothing.
... Katerina sat perched on the roof of Carfax Abbey, fuming over the fight she had with Elyse and Magda.
"Honestly" she hissed to herself, kicking at a nearby stone gargoyle statue "What gives them the right to condemn me? They are so weak and pathetic...preferring to follow his orders..."
Pushing this particular angry thought out of her head, she then focused on her plan to get rid of Garnet once and for all.
"Chris was just the beginning" she murmured to herself, staring at the night sky as she stood up "Soon, it will be Marty's turn...but not after I eliminate Elyse"
With that, she turned into a bat and flew away from the Abbey.
Little did she know that someone else was on the roof, listening to her every word...
... Garnet paced around the master bedroom as Jason and Marty sat on the bed.
"Did you hear anything on the autopsy?" Jason asked as Garnet stopped pacing momentarily.
"No" was all she said as she resumed pacing "Vlad hasn't gotten the results yet"
"I hope they release Chris' body soon" Marty said, yawning "We have to go home to bury him"
Garnet stopped to get a good look at her friends.
"You guys are looking better" she said, sighing with relief "I was scared that you were wasting away too"
"Nah" Jason said, chuckling "We were just overtired. Magda had to perform at the club the past few nights as well as Elyse. We're finally getting more rest again"...
... Magda rushed from the roof and willed herself to appear in Dracula's secret chamber, where he was sitting in his throne. She knew he wouldn't like what she was going to tell him, but she had to let him know for Elyse's sake. From the scowl on his normally calm face, she guessed he was thinking about Katerina. Sensing her presence, he looked up with questions in his dark eyes.
"Magda" he breathed, becoming more concerned as he took a look at the expression on her face "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
"It's Elyse" Magda said, choking back the fear creeping in her voice "I think Katerina is going to do something terrible to her"
"WHAT?!!" Dracula roared, standing up swiftly, his eyes blazing with red fury "What is that reckless bitch plotting now?"
"I was on the rooftop moments ago, preparing to look at the stars" Magda explained, her aquamarine eyes wide with fear "Katerina was muttering to herself about the argument she had with us earlier over her reckless execution of Chris. Not only is she plotting to harm Garnet but she is plotting to kill Elyse as her next step after Chris"
Dracula growled, gnashing his teeth together in rage before punching a hole in the cinderblock wall. After calming down some, he slowly walked up to his trembling red haired concubine and cupped her face in his hands.
"I appreciate you coming to me with this information, Magda" he said tenderly, planting a kiss on her forehead "Please tell me that you and Elyse are not unhappy with me choosing another bride"
"Master" she said quietly, her love and adoration for him flashing in her eyes "Neither of us are unhappy about it. We've accepted our existence since it began. You've treated us so well that we could never turn a hand or thought against you"
"Then why was Katerina so unhappy?" he asked, letting go of Magda and sitting back in his throne regally like the Prince he once was "Did I not treat her well?"
"You treated us equally, master" Magda said, bowing in gratitude "It's not your fault that Katerina was clingy and jealous."
Dracula sat and pondered momentarily before using his mind to summon Elyse into the room. It was only a matter of seconds before she appeared in a flash of glitter and gold mist.
"You summoned me, Master" she said, bowing in obedience before seeing Magda "What is going on?"
"It's Katerina" Dracula explained, templing his fingers in exasperation "She plans to harm you"...
... Garnet was pacing back and forth in the drawing room when Katerina appeared in the threshold. The blonde vampire smiled evilly as Garnet looked up sharply with what could only be described as pure hate in her golden eyes.
"You" Garnet spat out in anger as Katerina advanced on her "You're responsible for Chris' death"
"Little ol' me?" Katerina drawled, laughing joylessly "Now why would I do a thing like that?"
"Don't toy with me you bitch" Garnet hissed, her eyes narrowed dangerously "I see right through you"
"Awww aren't we the supreme bitch goddess" Katerina said, smirking at the mortal girl "I'd watch that mouth if I were you...don't think that your precious Vlad will always be there to save you. He's a womanizing snake...he will turn his back on you when he finds someone else"
"Oh I get it" Garnet replied, brushing away Katerina's comments about Vlad "You fancied him and he rejected you. You're just jealous because he lavishes attention on me and not you. Last time I checked, Vlad enjoyed the company of classy women...not blonde whores"
Katerina's eyes went wide and her cerulean blue eyes flashed inhumanly with anger.
"You insolent little girl" Katerina hissed, advancing on Garnet and circling her "I shall rip your tongue out and make you eat it"
Garnet laughed, dismissing Katerina's threats.
"I'd like to see you try" Garnet scoffed, egging Katerina on "I'm not the little waif you think I am"
Katerina was at her breaking point. She disliked Garnet's dismissive attitude towards her. She clamped her teeth together in rage.
"Awww" Garnet taunted, smirking triumphantly "Is Katerina afraid of a fight? Or does she fight like a bitch?"
With a growl, Katerina lunged at Garnet, who sidestepped her. She let out a grunt as she fell to the floor. She then picked herself up and turned to face Garnet, who stood there smirking.
"Is that all you've got?" Garnet taunted, motioning for her to 'bring it on'. Katerina hissed, moving swiftly behind her and grabbing her by the hair. Her breath touched the side of Garnet's exposed neck.
"Tsk" Katerina said as Garnet struggled to get out of her death grip "Are we powerless without our prince to save us?"
"Go to hell" Garnet hissed, clawing the side of her face with her perfectly manicured gel acrylic nails. Katerina's grip tightened, making Garnet clench her teeth together to fight the urge to cry out.
"I shall slash your throat while you're still breathing" Katerina hissed, grabbing a letter opener from the fireplace mantel and brandishing it against Garnet's neck. "You will never have Vlad...NEVER"
"On the contrary" a voice said from the doorway. Katerina looked up sharply to see Dracula standing there with a scowl on his face.
"Well well well" Katerina drawled, smiling at her former lover "He does care about you after all"
"LET HER GO" Dracula thundered, his eyes ablaze with rage "She's mine"
"Come and get her" Katerina laughed, brandishing the blade closer to Garnet's jugular. With a hiss, Dracula flew behind her, taking her by surprise. He grabbed the back of her neck and squeezed hard, causing her to relinquish her grip on Garnet, who fell to the floor.
"Crazy bitch!" Garnet exclaimed, rubbing her neck as she stood up "If I ever get my hands on you, I will kick your slutty ass all over the place"
Despite her confinement, Katerina laughed. Dracula turned to Garnet.
"I have her restrained...leave this room immediately!" he commanded, willing her to follow his command. After giving Katerina a death glare, she spun on her heels and left the chamber, leaving Dracula alone with Katerina.
"You whore" he hissed angrily, his fangs fully extended as he willed the chamber door to shut "How dare you threaten her and Elyse?"
"I will do whatever I please, VLAD" Katerina said, turning herself into a bat "When you least expect it, I will make your life a living hell"
With that, she flew out of the room, her laughter filling his subconscious as he growled in rage...
